Guidelines for Evaluating Process Plant Buildings for External Explosions, Fires, and Toxic Releases.
Siting of permanent and temporary buildings in process areas requires careful consideration of potential effects of explosions and fires arising from accidental release of flammable materials. This book, which updates the 1996 edition, provides a single-source reference that explains the American Pe...
